As Jeff patted him on the back, Evan’s helplessness slowly turned into muffled groans.
Tears slipped from his eyes, but even then, he refused to completely break.
Feeling totally embarrassed, Evan could only lower his head as tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jeff could only sigh before looking at the others and asking,
"If you break one of your arms now, I will let this matter go. If not, then what happens next is up to your imagination."
Jeff said this without any change in his expression, but his eyes were sharp, carrying a heavy weight that made it clear his words were not to be taken lightly.
Hearing this, Lora stepped forward to ease the tension.
"Classmates, I think it is better to think before you act. Let us handle this like civilized people, and no one gets hurt. How about it?"
In reply, Jeff only looked at her silently as he raised his hand, showing five fingers.
Then, one by one, his fingers slowly began to lower.
Five became four, clearly, it was a countdown.
"This..."
Seeing that Jeff was not listening to her at all, Lora felt a little angry, but she was also helpless as Lance pulled her away.
"Just let him handle it. After looking at the situation from a much wider view, it seems that he was not afraid of trouble in the first place. Maybe there is something that he has that will not put him in trouble," Lance said.
Understanding Jeff’s strength, Lance also understood that there was probably much more than what met the eye.
Because of that, he decided not to interfere. Even if he did interfere, he knew there was nothing he could do.
"Break our arms? Are you retarded? You are strong, we understand that, but you do know that even if I only lose a tooth, it is enough to buy your life!"
Norman said with a red face, since this was blatantly looking down on them.
They had their own pride as rich young masters, carrying themselves as if they were above everything.
Why would they break their own arms just because Jeff said so?
"Looking at Paolo’s current condition, do you know that those four missing teeth are already enough to buy your whole family?" added the other young master.
Hearing that his family was being threatened, Jeff’s expression turned cold.
He only looked at them, but they instantly felt as if their bodies had frozen stiff for no reason.
Even Vlad was frozen in fear for some unknown reason.
He did not understand why he could not move. Even though he was afraid, he knew that moving away and finding a good chance to attack would be the best option.
But why was his body not responding?
In the end, the two people at the back, who could not handle the pressure, knelt down while breathing heavily.
Vlad followed after them, his knees buckling. However, he forced one knee to remain up while gritting his teeth, refusing to fully kneel.
This was because it was not just a simple fear or ordinary pressure.
With Jeff reaching the third level of Kinetic Vein Art, the kinetic energy was pressing down on their bodies like an invisible force field, disturbing the tiny electrical signals that traveled from their brains to their muscles.
Their minds still wanted to move, but their nerves could not send the commands properly.
This made their bodies lock in place like machines with their wires cut.
Jeff did not fully understand it yet, but his pressure was not like an ordinary aura.
It felt almost alive, as if it knew exactly who its targets were. Because of that, the people around him were not directly affected.
Against normal people, it only felt like a heavy pressure pressing down on their bodies.
But against stronger people, the force became sharper, attacking their balance, breathing, and muscle control all at the same time.
However, that did not mean the others could not feel it at all.
Lance, who once again felt the pressure leaking into the air, slowly had his smile turn stiff.
If he took that force directly, he was certain that he would also be forced to his knees.
At that moment, a small doubt slowly crept into his heart.
"Does he come from that place?"
With this kind of advanced skill, it was impossible for Jeff to be just someone from here.
But that thought was quickly erased from his mind.
It was impossible, since bypassing that huge area was considered the same as death.
The world was large, so perhaps the young friend in front of him had simply been trained by a master.
"I have already given you five seconds. Now it is time for the real punishment."
As Jeff said this, he walked toward them casually. He stopped in front of the first one, Norman, and tapped his forehead.
As he did, an electric current passed through Norman’s mind. After that, Jeff retracted his hand and walked toward the other guy. He placed a hand on his forehead, pressed his finger against it, and said,
"Consider yourself disabled from this moment on."
After saying that, Jeff retracted his hand and turned his gaze toward the vicious man in front of him.
Vlad, seeing Jeff’s gaze, still had an arrogant look on his face. He did not show any kind of fear about what was going to happen.
"Hmm, I love that courage. Let us see how long it will last."
This time, Jeff only patted Vlad on the shoulder while Vlad was still kneeling down because of the pressure.
Then Jeff turned around, and the three of them were finally able to breathe again.
They saw him walk toward the unconscious Paolo and touch his forehead with his finger.
Seeing what Jeff was doing, all of them were confused.
Lora, who had been watching everything, was trying to figure out what he was doing.
Even Lance, who had a decade of experience in the military, had no idea what Jeff was doing.
Alya, whose eyes were sharper than the rest, noticed something different.
Their skin seemed to tremble and shake for a single second whenever Jeff touched each of them.
After that, Jeff walked toward his brother, looked at him, and said,
"Next time, if they bully you, just tell me and I will handle it. Remember, you have a big and strong brother."
Evan only looked at him dumbfoundedly as he wondered when his big brother had become this awesome.
In his eyes, Jeff looked like a god. Without even making any flashy moves, he made them unable to move at all.
"Let’s go down and leave for now," Jeff said.
Looking at his big brother in a new light, Evan began to show a strong look of admiration.
His gaze then shifted toward the others, and he curiously asked, "Big brother, what did you do to them? I thought you were going to do some flashy move and beat them up."
Jeff only smiled and waved his hand. "You will find out tomorrow. Let’s hurry up and leave now," he said.
Evan could only nod wondering what surprises is tomorrow going to bring.
Seeing this, Norman was about to say something to stop him, but when Jeff’s deadly eyes looked at him, the words he wanted to say were immediately swallowed back.
Right now, they were so well behaved that none of them dared to utter anything.
Seeing that things did not completely go out of hand, Lora breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Paolo, she would try her best to help him for now.
Looking at Lance and understanding what he meant, she watched as Lance carried Paolo and headed down, making his way toward the infirmary.
"Then that settles it. If you mess with my brother again, it will not only be this much. That is, if you can handle what happens tomorrow," Jeff warned them again without any change in his expression.
He was about to leave when someone suddenly stopped him in front of the door.
